Yet leading guidelines do not provide specific estimates of risk. The risks of adverse effects and complications from treatment for prostate cancer are substantial and continue for years after...
For localized prostate cancer, multimodal artificial intelligence models have revealed a more accurate way to assess prostate cancer risk. By combining advanced artificial intelligence with digital pathology images and clinical data, researchers developed a way to approach risk classification that outperforms traditional methods. These findings were published in JCO Precision Oncology. The research found that...
